The UK-based Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is collaborating on a project to support the development of next-generation smart clothing. Working with Pireta Limited, CPI is using its industry expertise in the printed electronics sector to aid scale-up of wearable technology in textiles.
Permeation measurements are often a bottleneck for the development of high barrier films required for flexible electronic devices and vacuum insulation panels. The reasons are long measuring times, restricted measuring conditions and specific constants, such as sorption and diffusion coefficients, which cannot be easily read out from results.
The intelliFLEX Innovation Alliance (Ottawa, Canada) and Taiwan Smart Textiles Association (TSTA) announced a memorandum of understanding for mutual cooperation.
